Community Walk vs. Google Earth
Community Walk is basically a more simpler form of Google Earth. Community Walk uses Google Maps and markers to create "tours" of a certain area. Google Earth not only creates tours, but it can show you how the tour looks from different views and times. Yes. Google Maps allows you to travel back in time. You can even view the oceans.
